Online bookmaker Sportsbet has opened a market on how many wins new Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur will tally for the remainder of the season, with just one win the $2.10 favourite.
Next in the market is two wins ($2.40), while no wins or three wins share the third line of betting at $6.50.
“We can’t see things turning around for the Eels, especially with news that star fullback Jarryd Hayne has been ruled out for the rest of the season with injury,” Sportsbet’s Ben Hawes said.
The big outsiders in the market are five wins ($101) or six wins ($251) from the remaining six games.
Sportsbet.com.au paid out on the Eels to collect the wooden spoon after just four rounds of the season, and now with just six games left, they’re into $1.30 to run last.
